With this thought in mind, Hattori Heiji straightened his tie, walked to the Otaki Police Department like an adult, and asked calmly: "How is it? Is there any result?"
The Otaki Police Department sighed: "No guns have been found yet, and no one has found gunpowder smoke on their body."
Hattori Heiji looked at the three sports stars: "Where are those three people?"
Otaki Police Department shook his head: "No, I did it for them first."
"Really?" Hattori Heiji frowned, "That's strange. In fact, I also think that compared to other guests, the three of them are the most suspicious - the dead reporter has been active in the United States for a long time, and the other people at the dinner
Compared with other people, these three sports stars, who are also from the United States, are most likely to have conflicts with the deceased."
He looked at the boxer: "And I just checked. Although at the dinner just now, when the dead reporter came on stage to make trouble, the three celebrities acted like they didn't know him... but this reporter actually reported separately.
The scandals of the three of them.
"The boxing star never lost a game until he retired, so the reporter made a big deal about him after he retired, saying that he secretly manipulated the game and secretly cheated, so he could have such an incredible record.
"Work... Not to mention the football star Conan admires. He was kicked out of football and retired early because he was suspected of taking drugs.
"As for the baseball star, I remember that he was once reported to be cheating and divorced - there are rumors that these scandals are all fabricated. If so, then the three of them have more complete motives for killing."
"That's not necessarily the case."
A voice cut in from the side.
Hattori Heiji and Otaki Police Department lowered their heads and saw Conan sneaking nearby at some point.
The fake primary school student who suddenly appeared apparently heard the conversation between the two. He retorted: "Although these three people were all spread rumors by the American reporter, they later sued each other and won - since they have used this kind of
If you prove your innocence in this way, then there is no need to kill anyone again."
Hattori Heiji's eyes twitched: "..." Who said there is no need to kill people? There are many people in Tokyo who kill people after a few quarrels. Your kid actually used personal goods to solve the case...
Conan lowered his voice again: "And compared to Ray Katis and the others, isn't there a more suspicious target here?
"——The man who calls himself Yamaguchi, he appeared at the shooting scene at the wedding banquet last night, and he is here again today... Every time he appears, there will be a shooting. Don't you think this is a coincidence?
"What's more, he also knows Mr. Yamada. Speaking of which, did you search them both?"
"Uh, I searched..." Nothing was found.
As he said that, Otaki Police Department scratched his head, feeling that he could not keep up with the children's jumping thoughts: Two shooting incidents occurred in succession. This is indeed a coincidence, but according to this standard... isn't it the same for you Tokyo guests?
?
Even counting those previous cases, you have appeared at crime scenes far more times than that Mr. Yamaguchi.
Otaki Police Department: "..." Also, what does "not to mention he knows Mr. Yamada" mean?
"If I remember correctly, Mr. Yamada is a fan of Jiang Xia. I heard that he would volunteer to be Jiang Xia's assistant when he is free. Mr. Yamaguchi knows him, shouldn't it prove his innocence?"
The Otaki Police Department tried hard to figure out the child's thinking. Suddenly he felt that he understood, and smiled in his heart: "That's it! I remember that this child often appeared in reports with Jiang Xia, just like Jiang Xia's little assistant. He looked
I don’t like Mr. Yamada, it’s probably the child’s cute jealousy.”
Thinking of this, he touched Conan's head: "Okay, I will definitely focus on the investigation."
Conan looked at the uncle with a kind smile suspiciously: "..." Really? I always feel like there's something wrong with you...
At this moment, he suddenly felt something and turned to look at a table next to him.
Hattori Heiji immediately noticed this classmate's gaze and also looked over: "What's wrong?"
Conan walked to the table and touched his chin: "I remember that when I left just now, there were two connected folds on the tablecloth, but now they have become one big fold... Has anyone touched this tablecloth?"
He looked around and found nothing wrong with the tabletop, so he lifted the tablecloth and, taking advantage of his short stature, easily poked his head in.
The next moment, Conan's eyes suddenly stopped: "Gun, there is a pistol underneath!"
Hattori Heiji and Officer Otaki: "?!"
Gunman in the shadows: "?!"
Calvados carefully chose a place to hide his gun: "..."
Jiang Xia, who was about to wait for the case to be over to recover the gun: "..."
Vodka who passed by and heard everything: “…”
Vodka looked at the ordinary tablecloth as if he had seen a ghost, looking left and right at a loss. There were so many tables in the banquet hall, and each table was round... This kid could actually remember a specific table.
The shape of the tablecloth on the table?!
"This is impossible..." Vodka touched his chin, shocked for a moment, and suddenly felt that he understood:
"That's it. It seems that this is all Uzo's instruction - I thought that after Uzo forced Calvados to put down the gun, he would take the gun away and add it to his collection, but now... hmph, he is definitely
He knew that with my presence, the existence of this gun would be reported to the organization, so he used this method to prevent Calvados from ever getting back this precious pistol that had been with him for many years."
"It's so insidious..."
Vodka didn't know how many times he made the same emotion.
…
Under Calvados' gloomy and indescribable gaze, the forensic officer carefully removed the pistol with gloves on and put it into the evidence bag.
——If there had been no accident, he might never be able to touch the pistol that had accompanied him through life and death several times in his life.
Vodka glanced at him and turned away silently: "..." Are you angry now? He hasn't touched your sniper rifle yet.
Having said that, this idiot didn't even control his expression. What if the police saw him?
Thinking of this, Vodka retreated silently, trying to pretend that he didn't know him.
…
Finding the murder weapon means there will be more clues.
While waiting for the police to investigate the gun, the three detectives re-entered the hotel building.
"I just inquired. It hasn't officially opened yet, and the elevators here are out of service." Hattori Heiji walked up the spotless steps to a room and opened the door, "So the murderer needs to run back and forth."
Jiang Xia nodded and glanced at Conan: "The switches and lighting equipment have not been tampered with, and there are no timing devices."
